15. Luke Davison (Preatures) on Booker T and the MGs "Green Onions"
On the fifteenth installment of My Favorite Album, drummer and very tall man Luke Davison, from Sydney rockers The Preatures, heads into the pod booth in between dates of the band’s Two Tone Melody tour. Luke and host Jeremy Dylan discuss the classic 1962 debut LP from Booker T and the MGs - Green Onions.
Along the way, they break down classic tracks “Green Onions” and “Twist and Shout”, talk about the accidental creation of the band, how the MGs songwriting process parallels The Preatures, Luke’s work in R&B band The Fabulous Rumble’ators, why simplicity is the hardest thing to pull off and how music ends up in Viagra commercials.
My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album’s influence on their own music.
